Company presentation summary
15 Jan, 2026Strategic vision and financial position
Aims to transform patient outcomes by targeting the AT2 receptor to halt and reverse disease pathology, focusing on rare lung diseases.
Operates from Stockholm, Cambridge (MA), and Copenhagen, and is publicly listed on Nasdaq Stockholm.
Holds a market cap of $381 million and a pro forma financial position of $137 million as of early 2026.
Supported by leading specialist investors in the US and Europe.
Lead program and clinical pipeline
Buloxibutid, a first-in-class oral AT2 receptor agonist, is in a global Phase 2b trial (ASPIRE) for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), with Orphan Drug and Fast Track designations from the FDA.
The ASPIRE trial targets full enrollment by H1 2026 and includes global ex-Japan rights, with a partnership in Japan.
Additional ATRAGS compounds are in preclinical development for multiple indications.
Market opportunity and unmet need
IPF is a progressive, fatal disease with a 5-year mortality rate of 80% and significant unmet need despite three FDA-approved therapies.
The global IPF market is projected to grow from $4.2B in 2024 to over $10B by 2030-2033, driven by new approvals, increased awareness, and rising prevalence.
Existing therapies offer only modest slowing of disease progression and have tolerability issues, highlighting the need for innovative treatments.
